Space law article of the week: Steven Freeland and Annie Handmer explain that while "[a]ny feasible technology to alleviate the problem of space debris should be thoroughly explored [...], actively removing debris raises political and legal problems."

Congratulations to the @NASAJPL team on the first flight off planet earth, over 180 million miles away! Another reminder that it's time to start thinking about how legal frameworks will apply on Mars, and where there is need for norm development as Mars becomes more crowded.

"Wow!"

The @NASAJPL team is all cheers as they receive video data from the @NASAPersevere rover of the Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter flight:
